Absolutely. I had fun there as it's a cool city but I found it was hard to make friends there. I have a couple but I found it to be a "what can you do for me?" type of place.

Yeah, that's pretty much the attitude there mostly. I had a lot of acquaintances rather than friends when it came to work and where I lived. Then again, there were also people who stepped up for me when I least expected it, so I guess I would call them friends.
There is just no place like it. People come with hopes and dreams, and if they have an addictive nature, they're pretty much done before they even get started. It would turn the best people into greedy a-holes.
Lucky for me, I do have my weaknesses, but I can control them and it's not drink or drugs. I've seen the combo of drugs/drink with gambling turn nasty really quickly a lot of times.
I worked at the swapmeet for a couple of months, and to be honest, that's where the most real people were. The vendors. Of course they were there to make money, but mostly to have fun. It was like one big happy family there, everyone was looking out for each other, and if there was someone who tried to scam people or steal from them...well, it was never pleasant for them, let's put it that way. I loved it there, it was like my little weekend getaway from the craziness of the city.
That being said: I was really living the high-life for a while there, and I did enjoy that, but yeah, it's not the best way to make 'friends'.
I had a lot of those kind of friends lol.
For me it just has been the city of a lot of frustrations and deep 'downs', mainly because of 'friends', but it is definitely a place where I knew I would always be able to make money and do well. If I would have stayed.
Yeah, small world indeed. Tiny...
I saw my old room-mate from Singapore on a huge poster at Gap, after I walked in because the smell coming from the store reminded me of Singapore... small world and weird. :)
Oh the addictive types do t lady. It’s chews em up and spits em out. I saw several people come and go...move to Vegas...months later leaving as it destroyed the. The gonstsnt partying, drinking, boozing, women. It got to be to much for a few and they left pretty much destroyed. Sad really.
Lol. You sniffed your friend out. Odd and awesome. Also creepy. Lol
